I did a little experiment during localization of my software (or at least
preparations for localization) - without adding any language resources, I
just went through changing the Localizable property of each form from False
to True. I noticed that the resulting Executable instead of being 4mb was
closer to 8mb. This suprised me. So I did a little experiment. I set the
localizable flag to false on one noddy form and then checked the indices
into the manifest resources. It turns out that this one form with
Localizable switched off uses ~ 16890 bytes, but with Localizable switched
on it uses ~ 77956 bytes. This is true for much of the application. Can
anyone account for this inflation?
Thanks.

what are the differences in sized when compiled in "release" rather than
"debug"?

I don't think .NET is like Ye Olde .CPP executables in that it tends to
carry around a lot of meta-information regardless of debug or release
versions. FYI, it's about 100k different. Which is tiny compared to the
4mb difference I'm thinking about.

yes and no...tending to be more on the yes-side. how much meta-data remains
really depends though, and typically most of the meta revolves around your
own code much of the time. i would have expected the difference to be much
more than 100k. i really can't account for the localization bloat. have you
tried importing the namespace(s) you need and massaging your forms at
run-time? what functionality do you need?

Hi all.
I have a frustrating issue that I can't seem to figure out. EXPERTS

My task is to localize a winform application. The .Net Designer
creates its own .resx file (i.e. form1.resx) for each form. I realized
that I was not able to add any strings inside that .resx file because
the .Net Designer will overwrite that .resx file causing me to lose
the strings I add. Therefore, I created a...

I am looking at "internationalising" a project.
I can understand resource files, creating them etc.
However the drawback with them seems to be you need to use Visual Studio
to create and maintain them.
It is easy for me to create a text file containing all of the controls
and their strings. I can then give this to a "non computer " person
i.e. an end user to produce a foreign language version. I then read that in.

what is the C# equivalent of language-specific resource DLLs of the

With C++/MFC it's possible to build GUIs localized for different
languages, and then dynamically load the specified GUI for a given

But it seems to me that C# and .NET don't use resources e.g. to
describe the UI, like Win32/MFC programs; in C# it seems that GUI

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
